Stop beating up on condo owners

I am writing in response to David McKay Wilson's column regarding tax revaluations. It's time to stop beating up on condos.

For instance, a 120-unit condo takes the same space as one or two single-family houses. Where a single-family home may pay $15,000 to $20,000 a year in taxes, the condo building could conservatively pay $480,000 a year based on $4,000 (per unit) taxes. Seems to me the municipality comes out way ahead with condos.

Owners of condo apartments have less square feet of living space and a good deal less independence.

Mr. Wilson is comparing apples to oranges. I would guess he wouldn't give up his single-family home to live in a condo with restrictions, maintenance fees that constantly increase and less privacy and decision-making.
